confirming on my win98 box...hangs for me also

Comment 2

[sujay]

same thing happens for http://www.fortunecity.com website

Comment 3

[sujay]

also http://www.hgtv.com hangs

Comment 4

The problem is a bug in the nsString.ReplaceString 

for example:

nsString str("&T");
nsString s1("&T");
nsString s2("QB&T);

str.ReplaceSubstring(s1, s2);

This will go on until it runs out of memory.

I will add a workaround until Bug 110335 is fixed.

I tested with various combinations, it seems to be fairly bullet proof.

Tested with 11_14_22_0.9.4ec build on Win2000. Reproduced on 0.9.4ec build at
http://www.att.com site.

Fixed on trunk

Comment 12

[sujay]

IF this is fixed on trunk, can we mark it RESOLVED-FIXED?

Comment 13

[rods (gone)]

I don't think so, it has "edt" on it

Comment 14

[Kevin McCluskey (gone)]

Marking it fixed. edt nominations are looked at after the bug is fixed on the
trunk and resolved as fixed.

Comment 15

[sujay]

another URL to test when verifying this bug= http://www.collectiblestoday.com

Comment 16

[Judson Valeski]

please checkin to the 0.9.4 branch and add "fixed0.9.4" to the keyword field
after landing. thanks!

Comment 17

[rods (gone)]

fixed in 0.9.4

Comment 18

[sujay]

verified in 11/27 build.

Comment 19

[sujay]

verified again on trunk using 12/5 build..works fine on this build.

however,

this is not fixed on the 0.9.4 branch. I used 12/05 0.9.4 branch build.

both these sites still hang: 

http://www.att.com
http://www.collectiblestoday.com

I can't reopen this because it is indeed fixed on the trunk.

Comment 20

[Christine Hoffman]

I tested using the 12_05_13_0.9.4.ec branch build on Win98. Neither
http://www.att.com or http://www.collectiblestoday.com hanged. Both pages
loaded. This looks to be fixed on the branch, Sujay.

Comment 21

[Christine Hoffman]

Disregard the last statement. Testing with the 12_05_13_0.9.4.ec branch builds
with Win98, both sides HANG. This does NOT appear to be fixed on 0.9.4 on Win98

Comment 22

[Christine Hoffman]

Disregard comments #20 and #21. the 12/5 0.9.4ec build has a problem and is not
valid for verifications. Waiting for new 0.9.4 branch build.

Comment 23

[sujay]

verified in 1/13 branch build

Go to www.gocollect.com.  Select "File," then "Print."  Hit "Print" button.  
Netscape hangs.  I had to end task on NS and relaunch.
